Among the 13 investment banks monitored, JPMorgan and Citi each had their shares of operating revenue increase by 0.7 percentage points during the period.

Tricumen partner Darko Kapor said that JPMorgan’s performance came from continued strength in equity and debt capital markets, which are among its largest businesses, together with an impressive third quarter in foreign exchange, interest rates, credit, and equity derivatives trading, in which it outpaced the majority of peers.
